Definitions
- Tie components come in various forms and are used in many applications. For example, segments of metal wire, whether coated or uncoated, are often used for twist ties. The twist ties can be used, for example, for closing a package or bag, or joining two members together.
- Another form of tie includes a strip with a securing member at one end and an opposite toothed end, or the like, which is received through and retained by the securing member. Such ties are often used for clothes tags or cable ties and are typically permanent such that the tie must be fractured for removal.
- tie components may include hook and loop type fasteners, for example Velcro® brand fastening material, for forming strips which can be looped around and secured.
- Other tie component types are known and used.
- some of the ties provide minimal load strength, others are limited in size, others are difficult or expensive to manufacture, while others may be useful only in a limited range of environmental conditions due to deleterious effects of temperature, humidity or the presence of contaminants. Others cannot be opened without permanently destroying the tie so that it cannot be reused.
- the present inventors have found that many, if not all of these limitations, can be overcome in a single tie component, namely, a tie component manufactured from a pre-crimped material.
- U.S. Patent Nos. 6,058,541 and 6,079,087 disclose methods of forming crimped yarns for use in toothbrushes and paintbrushes, respectively.
- U.S. Patent No. 6,045,911 discloses a cutting filament for use in a rotary cutter such as a grass tiimmer.
- Various crimp shapes are disclosed. While pre-crimped components have been known, none of these references teaches or suggests use of pre-crimped yarns as tie components.
- the present invention relates to tie components manufactured from a length of material having pre-crimped portions of alternating projections and indentations.
- the tie component is arranged in a desired configuration and joined by aligning and twisting two pre-crimped portions into registry whereby they interlock.
- the tie component can be used for many consumer end uses, for example, cable and hose ties, suspended ceiling ties, plant hangers and/or vegetable stakes, pole ties for signage, peg board tool holders, or as a general fastener anywhere a twist-tie or the like may be used.
- the components which may be any desired length, are preferably manufactured from a synthetic material, but may be manufactured from metal or other materials.

- Figure 5 illustrates a pre-crimped component according to the present invention mtertwined to form a multi-loop component.
- Figure 6 illustrates a pre-crimped component according to the present invention intertwined into a circular unit.
- Figure 7 illustrates two interconnected pre-crimped components of the present indentation.
- Figure 8 illustrates a preferred method of manufacturing the component of Figure 1.
- the term “component” encompasses monofilaments, multifilaments, strips slit from film, or other similar yarn like elements whose length dimension is greater than either their height or width.
- the term “crimp” refers to the waviness or distortion of a component from a common center as is known in the art. Crimp may be imparted to a component by interlacing it with at least one other component during the assembly of a textile, such as by weaving or knitting, through a "stuffer box” process, by casting or molding the component using an appropriate mold, by mermoforming or other methods.
- thermoforming relates to a process for imparting a specific crimp to a thermoplastic component by mechanical means with or without a thermal treatment; for example, by passing the components through chilled or heated gears, rollers or plates or by passing them through gears, rollers or plates and then subsequently heating or cooling so as to permanently deform them in a desired manner.
- pre-crimped refers to a treatment which imparts a desired crimp to a component prior to its incorporation into a product.
- pre-crimping and thermoforming impart specifically dimensioned indentations to the components allowing them to be interlocked with a desired fit.
- FIG. 1 a first embodiment of the tie component 20 of the present invention is shown.
- the tie component 20 is pre-crimped such that each surface A and B has a series of alternating indentations 22 and projections 24.
- the alternating indentations 22 and projections 24 may be provided along the entire length of the component 20, as shown, or only along desired portions.
- the illustrated embodiment has a rectangular cross-section, see Figure 4, the component 20 can have any desired cross-section, for example, circular, oval or any polygonal shape.
- the components 20 are preferably manufactured from a synthetic material, for example, nylon, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and related polymers and copolymers, polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), polyetheretherketone (PEEK), poly(cyclohexanedimetlylene terephthalate) (PCTA), and other polymers used in e.g. industrial textiles.
- the components may also be manufactured from other suitable polymeric materials, metals or other materials having the desired properties.
- the tie component 20 can be supplied in precut lengths or it can be spooled such that a user can cut a piece to a desired length for a particular application.
- FIG. 2-4 a first configuration of tying of the component 20 is shown.
- the ends 26, 28 of the component 20 are crisscrossed as illustrated in Figure 2.
- the ends 26, 28 are then rotated relative to one another such that the indentations 22 and projections 24 register with one another and interlock as illustrated in Figures 3 and 4.
- the strength of the interlocking is controlled by the size of the component, the type of material from which it is formed, the frequency of the crimping, the width and depth of the indentations 22 and projections 24, and the area of mtertwining.
- the depth of the indentations 22 is the interior distance from the bottom of an indentation to the top of an adjacent projection.
- the width of the indentation 22 is the interior distance from one projection to the next.
- a tie component was formed in a thermoforming process. Round stock of 1.4 mm diameter nylon monofilament was thermoformed to provide a resultant component having a generally rectangular cross-section, roughly .95 mm thick by 1.95 mm wide. It was found that a crimp deformation of between 3 and 3.5 mm (the distance between the outer surface of one projection and the outer surface of an oppositely facing projection) and a crimp frequency of 3 to 4 indentations/cm provided desirable results. Other materials and configurations may also be used, for example, with different crimp spacing and size.
- the width and depth of the receiving indentations are approximately equal to the width and thickness of rectangular or non-round component, or the diameter of a circular component.
- the indentations then positively hold the component yarn and can reduce occurrence of premature undesired release.
- a tie component 20 intertwined as illustrated in Figures 2-4 can be used for a number of end uses. For example, it can be used as suspended ceiling ties, cable ties, plant hangers, pole ties, tool peg board holder, or as a general faster anywhere a twist-tie or the like maybe used. Additionally, since numerous materials can be used, a component 20 manufactured from nylon or the like can be used in high temperature applications, for example, as a cable or hose tie for use in an engine compartment.
- FIG. 5 An alternate tying configuration is illustrated in Figure 5.
- the component 20 is intertwined at multiple locations 32a, 32b, and 32c to define multiple tie loops 30a, 30b, and 30c.
- Such a configuration allows multiple objects to be interconnected with a single tie component 20. Any number and configuration of tie loops 30 can be defined. Additionally, such flexibility allows the component 20 to be used in various ways, for example, as a plant hanger or the like.
- each end 26, 28 of the component 20 is intertwined with the body of the component 20 to define a generally circular ring.
- the extent to which the ends 26, 28 are intertwined can be varied, as can be seen by comparing Figures 6 and 7.
- multiple rings can be interconnected to define a link chain or the like.
- the ringed components show surprising strength.
- two 12 inch pre-crimped components 20 were formed into loops and joined as illustrated in Figure 7.
- the pre-crimped components were formed from the 1.4 mm diameter round polyamide 6 monofilament described above which was subsequently crimped to a deformation of 3-3.5 mm at 3-4 indentations per cm.
- the loops were formed by mtertwining a 2 inch length of the component 20 from each opposing end 26, 28. The two loops were then pulled apart using an Instron tensile testing machine. A force of about 11 kg was required to cause the indentations and projections of the joined areas of the components 20 to begin to slide and pull apart.
- the intertwined pre-crimped components 20 demonstrated equal strength to the Velcro® loops even though they were significantly smaller in size and in the binding area along each loop.
- the tie component 20 can be removed simply by untwisting the ends 26 and 28. The component 20 can then be reused in any desired manner.
- the tying configurations and applications described above are set forth only for the purposes of illustration and are not intended to be limiting. Other tying configurations and applications are within the scope of this invention.
- a heat source 46 is positioned proximate to the gears 50, 60 and controlled to provide a desired amount of heat.
- Various heat sources 46 can be used including a hot water bath, a conduction or convection oven, a microwave or infrared radiation.
- the gears 50, 60 may be heated, for example by using a cartridge heater or other suitable heat source, to heat the stock 40 as it is crimped.
- the stock 40 may be fed to the gears 50, 60 directly from the apparatus used for forming such, for example a spinnerette or extruder, in a semi- heated state where it may or may not require additional heat.
- the crimped component 48 is preferably readily cooled by a suitable means to assure that the size and shape of the imparted crimp is retained.
- the heated crimped component 48 is passed through a cold water bath or vortex chiller 49.
- the primary gears 50, 60, or a supplemental set of gears may be chilled, for example by a vortex chiller, to cool the exiting component 48.
- a second, cooled gear assembly or the like it will have projections and recesses complementary to those of the first gear and will be synchronized therewith. In some applications, rapid cooling may not be necessary and the component may be allowed to stand and cool naturally.
- the finished crimped component 48 is then either coiled into a suitable package, with a user later cutting pieces to a desired length or the component may be cut into predefined lengths and packaged.
